It's that time of the year again when decorative pine trees are put up to symbolise the worldwide celebration of Christmas.

The Christmas tree tradition is credited to Germany where it all started. History states that the 16th Century German preacher, Martin Luther was the first person to bring a Christmas Tree into a house after he was walking through the forest sometime before Christmas and saw the stars shining through the tree branches. He told his children that it reminded him of Jesus, and there and then, he created what would remind him of the symbol he saw, and got the tree erected at Christmas.

Today it has become one of the major tradition of Christmas worldwide. These days, they are not ordinary anymore, they come well decorated with tinsels, baubles and various creativity.

Some are whopping expensive too. Like the 2010 jewel encrusted Christmas tree put on show at an Abu Dhabi hotel which was worth over $11M (£7M). Scores of precious stones and items of exquisite jewelry were draped on the tree branches along with baubles and lights. All these made it World's most expensive tree.

We surely haven't seen the last of the Kardashians' nude fiesta. Kourtney posted her pregnancy nude photo on her Instagram today and says "To me, nudity is not something to be ashamed of. I'm at my best when I'm pregnant."

When asked by dujour.com how she hopes people will react to the pictures, she answered "I don’t know. It’s what a woman’s body is made to do, so I hope it’s maybe seen as something that’s artistic. This was something that initially I did for myself just to capture the moment in my life, but these photos are beautiful and I’m happy to share them. And I like how raw they are. It’s my body: I’m not trying to impress anybody or be something that I’m not. But in general, I don’t really care that much about what people think. It doesn’t rule my world. I did this because I wanted to and it made me happy."

Nollywood actor, director and producer, Desmond Olusola Elliot has emerged as the candidate to represent All Progressive Congress (APC), Surulere constituency in the Lagos State House of Assembly election in 2015, after winning the ticket and defeating Kabiru Lawal, his counterpart at APC primaries held in Lagos this afternoon.
